How do I delete duplicate songs? (date and time stamp are identical

I put my cd collection in itunes and now have duplicates of most songs (don't know how I did that). The duplicates have the exact same date and time, so the method to delete a "newer" duplicate will not work. Is there a simple way to delete exact duplicates from the itune library?

This application can help.  It's US$15.  http://dougscripts.com/apps/dupinapp.php

  • How do you edit out the date and time stamp from a photo

    How do you edit out the date and time stamp from a photo

    You can blur it out with retouch
    The built-in "Retouch" brush in "Edit" mode should suffice, if the background is mostly uniform, and if you set the size of the brush to slightly wider than the bar width of the letters. For example, in this picture I removed the year from the date (in the lower right corner) by using the "retouch" brush and following the contours of the letters. (the screen shot is from iPhoto '11, but iPhoto 9 should give similar results).

  • How do I delete duplicate songs in my iTunes? I have hundreds and I don't want to delete them one by one. They were all added on the same date, so sorting by the date won't help.

    Hi, if this is in regards to your library simply open up itunes and do the following steps:
    Click File
    Scroll down to "show duplicates"
    A list will then appear of your duplicate song titles.
    Be sure to CAREFULLY review each song to make sure it is a duplicate ( as I have some music that is the same song but live, acoustic etc...)
    Proceed to manually delete each song from the list and leave alone any song that you wish to keep.
    Best of luck,

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • How can I delete duplicate songs in Itunes ?

    How can i delete duplicate songs in Itunes ?

    I have the same problem, where my music library shows duplicates of just about everything I put in iTunes now. It began about a month ago. As far as looking at Date Added, well they are duplicates all put on at the same time. It isn't a matter of the title showing up later, or my having accidentally added the same song twice (say, from different sources or compilations). This is a problem with Apple I think because it just began a month ago and I changed no settings, nor did I do anything else. It just began to happen out of the blue. Anyone know about this?

    Not a good idea! The "show duplicates" feature shows "all" duplicate tracks, but you only want to delete the "extra" copies, not the "originals".
    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background, including how to delete the extra tracks manually if you prefer.

  • How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?

    Greetings!
    After importing my 300 or so CDs into iTunes, I found I have tons of duplicate songs.
    Example: I have a song that came in a original album, then in again in a "Greatest Hits" album, then again in a "Hits of the 80's" album, and again in a soundtrack album. I have now have 4 copies of the exact same song.
    How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums back to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?
    I don't think this currently exists, but as my library keeps growing the duplicates keep growing.  It would be nice if Apple sees this and adds a way to link songs to multiple albums.
    I don't want to create a custom playlist for every album that has a duplicate song or two (I'd have dozens of playlists) - thought about fixing it that way but not really practical.

    To my knowledge, there is no way of doing what you want. The only workaround is to create playlists for the other albums containing the track, but that isn't practical for most people.
    You could provide Apple with feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

    How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone

    Hi jpere041,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can delete individual songs, artists, albums, playlists, compilations and composers from your iPhone. To delete an item, swipe across it, then tap Delete.
    This information is on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide
    manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    Regards,

  • How can you delete duplicate songs in total, not one at a time?

    How can you delete duplicate songs in total, instead of the tedious task of one at a time. I have hundreds of duplicates.

    Maybe:

    Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
    Also maybe

  • How can we delete SID table data and Text table data

    Hi,
    How can we delete SID table data and Text table data of any
    InfoObject.

    Hi,
    Go to transaction SE14, give the technical name if the table:
    /BIC/T<InfoObject Name>   for Text Table
    /BIC/S<InfoObject Name>  for SID Table
    Select "Table" in the given 4 options below  &  hit Edit button.
    in the next screen select "Direct"
    & also select "detele data" radio button.
    & hit  "Activate & adjust database".
    this will delete the complete data from the tables.
    Note: before deleting the SID's make sure of the consequences & after effects.
    Also the SID gets generated the next time you load master data/transaction data only for those records which were loaded..

    How do you date and time stamp iCal entries?  We share an event calendar and need to know when a new event was entered into iCal.

    BKBK,
    Thank you for your response. That does adequately cover the
    client-originated sessions, but still leaves the ability I am
    looking for unavailable.
    It did serve to definitively answer my most pressing
    question, however, with this statement:
    Note: ColdFusion cannot create a session if an initiator
    application uses a SendGatewayMessage method to start an
    interaction with a client, such as an SMS user. In this case, the
    sending code must keep track (for example, in a database) of the
    messages it sends and their destinations. When a response event
    arrives, it can look up the origniatorID to determine whether it
    was in response to an outgoing message.
    I will play around with the Application scope to see if there
    might be a workable solution there.

  • In Numbers, how do I lock in the date and time data when an IF/THEN formula is used with the "NOW" function?

    In Numbers, how do I lock in the date and time data when an IF/THEN formula is used with the "NOW" function?
    =IF(I127,NOW()," ")
    I127 equals a check box. The formula retuns a value of the current date and time when a check is placed in the box. How does one lock that date and time so that it cannot be changed?

    I don't think it is possible to lock in the date and time using a formula. You could put NOW() in a cell, copy, and Edit Paste Formula Results where you want the result.
    Or if you are "time stamping" a lot, you may find this Automator Service (Dropbox download) helpful. It puts a "Today" function (actually it should be named "Now" because it includes both date and time) in your Services menu like this:
    Just doubleclick the .workflow package to install it. You may have to click "download anyway" in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
    If you want you can assign the service a keyboard shortcut in System Preferences here:
